Have a look at the berkeleys very good rods for the money, i bought 3 b3's for £79 each but i beleive you can pick up the B4's for £50, lovely to use and they look good too!!

Try the Wychwood Rage or Wychwood Rogue X Carp rods......can be found on t'internet for under £40. Great rods.

price is only a guideline , some shops can charge you nearly 3 times the price for the same rod , i bought a ugly stik specimen 1,75 TC this week for £24.99 from www.mullarkeys.co.uk , and yet another store was selling the same rod for £71.49 . other prices were £49.99 , and £42.99 ,

some shops will really rob in broad daylight wont they!!!! i have learnt quite alot that if you find a rod or any tackle research it on the internet and see if you can get it for a cheaper price.

anyone know how much i would get for my daiwa powermesh rods and shimano 6010 reels x4 of each.the reels only have one handle not the double, looking to upgrade rods and reels?

If you want one rod, buy from me /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190234070353&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=009

If you want 2 or 3 rods for that price (each) I would highly recommend the fox warrior ES

paulhereford · Jul 9, 2008

I deffo prefer the Wychwood Rage and Rogue X carp rods to the Warrior ES as I have all three.The Fox Warrior is pretty good from 2 3/4lb test curve upwards however.

Or if you can afford a little more you wont find these at these prices anywhere else (i dont think)...

or these at these prices (TF gear intruder slim). I have 2 of these, very, verygood rods...

p.s. I know you said £40-50 but if you can get £70 the intruder slims are amazing rods

stephen webb · Jul 19, 2008
